Select the two expressions that are equivalent.(2 points)
Responses

−7y+3x
negative 7 y plus 3 x

7y−3x
7 y minus 3 x

−7y−3x
negative 7 y minus 3 x

3x−7y

Answer 1

To find the equivalent expressions, we can simplify or rearrange them:

1. **Expression 1**: \(-7y + 3x\)
2. **Expression 2**: \(7y - 3x\)
3. **Expression 3**: \(-7y - 3x\)
4. **Expression 4**: \(3x - 7y\)

Now let's analyze:

- **Expression 1** (\(-7y + 3x\)) is not equivalent to **Expression 2** (\(7y - 3x\)).
- **Expression 1** is equivalent to **Expression 4** (\(3x - 7y\)) because they can be rearranged:

\(-7y + 3x = 3x - 7y\)

- **Expression 3** (\(-7y - 3x\)) is not equivalent to any of the others.

Thus, the two equivalent expressions are:

1. **\(-7y + 3x\)**
2. **\(3x - 7y\)**
